The company used a whole clip of its proprietary innovations in the development – for example, some reduction in the level of low frequencies, typical for single-ended amplifiers, is solved here by using a new specialized output transformer with magnetic field compensation. And feedback optimization and special driver cascades expand the frequency band "from above".

The optimized circuit layout of the network transformer relative to the output one reduces noise to an insignificant value. Adaptive three-stage Class A mode adjustment with smooth level change from 100% to 35% depending on the load profile ensures that high heating levels are not encountered.
